Chapter 183 Searching Xu Muhua’s Yard
“What’s the nonsense?”
Xu Muhua was unhappy and showed the intention to have a thorough argument with Concubine Zhang. However, Concubine Zhang did not want to listen to her nonsense and raised her hand to stop her.
“Shut up! It’s just that I have a good temper. If it’s someone else, see if they will slap you.”
“Your Majesty, you are too serious.”
If you say this in front of your elders, at most you will be scolded for being useless!
Alas, your Majesty doesn’t understand. If she can do this, she will be the most promising! How many people in the world can do this? The emperor can’t even eat as he pleases!
Concubine Zhang stopped talking nonsense with her and just asked, "If I help you, how are you going to thank me?"
How to thank me?
This question really stumped her.
Xu Muhua couldn't shamelessly ask Concubine Zhang for help again because she was not the kind of person who would repay a favor.
"Your Majesty has everything you need, and it seems that I have no way to repay you!"
Concubine Zhang's face turned black.
What do you mean by "no way to repay you"? In her opinion, she was just trying to get something for nothing!
So Concubine Zhang just stared at her expressionlessly without saying a word. Xu
Muhua thought that she was not a shameless person, so she quickly gave in to Concubine Zhang's sarcastic gaze.
Okay, okay!
"I wonder how Your Majesty wants me to repay you?"
She had a polite and sincere smile on her face.
When she asked this, Concubine Zhang didn't know how to answer, because she really hadn't thought about this problem. She just said it casually. But now that it has come to this, she certainly can't push away the reward. Is she the kind of person who selflessly dedicates herself?
"Just owe it to me first, and I'll ask you for it when I think of it in the future."
Xu Muhua thought, isn't this just like writing a blank check? The risk is a bit high!
"Your Majesty, you must show mercy when the time comes!"
Concubine Zhang glanced at her, "Look at how useless you are!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't worry, since I have taken on this matter, I will definitely get it done for you! Just wait for my news."
With Concubine Zhang's guarantee, Xu Muhua was indeed relieved.
The power of a favorite concubine should not be underestimated!
Xu Muhua couldn't just walk away after achieving her goal, as she needed help from someone. So she stayed in Yikun Palace and racked her brains to make Concubine Zhang happy. Xu Muhua felt that she looked just like the eunuchs who fawned on the emperor on TV.
In the end, Concubine Zhang was happy and invited her to dinner. After a good meal, she was released from the palace.
Just after leaving the palace, she returned to the door of her home. Shi Liu, who had been waiting anxiously for who knows how long, ran over immediately when she saw her and said hurriedly: "Miss, it's bad, Madam knows that you sneaked out last night! Someone from Jingzhao Prefecture said they want to question you and investigate, and they also said they want to search your yard! They said that you and Brother Liang Ming are involved in a murder case!"
Xu Muhua was not surprised to hear this, but felt that it was as expected!
If she was not mistaken, this was probably done by Li Gang!
She asked him why he was so kind to let them go last night, and he was waiting for her here! He
let the people from Jingzhao Prefecture come to the door directly. Once the news gets out, what will outsiders say? He can't wait to splash dirty water on the Chengguo Mansion!
She sneered, "I haven't killed anyone."
She hadn't done anything, so don't even think of making her admit it!
Upon entering the front hall, the first thing Xu Muhua saw was not the ferocious yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture, but her own mother, who had a gloomy face, expressionless, and looked at her coldly. She was so scared that her heart began to tremble.
"Mom..."
She walked over slowly, trying to act coquettishly... but was stared at by Xu's mother's sharp eyes.
"Just sit over there and look at the trouble you have caused! You are getting more and more courageous. Not only did you sneak out in the middle of the night, but you are also... you are involved in a murder case! I think you are suitable to go to the border and fight with your father and your elder brother!"
Xu's mother was really angry this time.
Xu Muhua couldn't help but muttered quietly: "It's not that we can't go, the scenery at the border seems to be quite nice..."
She just thought of it as a trip. As long as she had money, she could enjoy herself wherever she went.
"What are you mumbling about!"
Xu's mother couldn't help but raise her voice.
Xu Muhua immediately straightened her back, spread her shoulders, and looked up and said: "No, I'm not mumbling anything! I'm saying that I have nothing to do with any murder case. How dare I get involved in a murder case? I'm just a weak woman!"
"Madam, Miss Xu, we will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, but it is an indisputable fact that Miss Xu appeared at the scene last night. And we now have evidence to suspect that you, Miss Xu, have an unusual relationship with the murderer last night."
Xu Muhua paused.
Xu's mother also became nervous for a moment.
Before Mu Hua came back, the people in Jingzhao Prefecture had already told her about the matter, but they didn't say they had found evidence to prove that Mu Hua was involved in the matter!
Of course, she believed her daughter. She had the courage to sneak out, and the courage to hide herself and do some weird things, but she definitely didn't have the courage, and she wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone!
The child of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion would never be a person with bad morals!
Xu Muhua was a little curious and asked, "What evidence?"
"We found a letter close to the murderer's body with the family emblem of the Chengguo Mansion on it."
Xu Muhua smiled, "What kind of evidence is this? Although each of our families has its own family emblem, it does not mean that others will not use it. As long as someone is brave enough, it is not difficult to forge such a symbol on the letter, right?" "
That being said, it is indeed only the Chengguo Mansion that is involved now, not anyone else. So we came here today in accordance with the regulations. Miss Xu, please cooperate and let us search your yard."
Xu's mother immediately objected, "This won't do! How can I let you outsiders search my daughter's yard at will? If this gets out, will my daughter's reputation be ruined? I've never heard of anyone letting anyone search the yard of another family's eldest daughter at will!"
"Madam, you must think carefully about which is more important: let us search or ask Miss Xu to go back for interrogation!"
Xu's mother's face turned cold, "Do you think that there is no one in the Duke's Mansion and that you can let others bully you?"
"I dare not, we are also doing things according to the rules. Madam, it is actually most appropriate to deal with this matter before it gets out of hand. Otherwise, the damage will probably be even greater."
